Friederike Otto, co-founder of World Weather Attribution on the problem of 'heat inequality' - the climate crisis (as we know) is fatal... but the effects/fatalities are unevenly distributed!
'We just don’t know how many people are being killed by extreme heat in poor countries. But due to their much higher exposure, there’s no reason to think it’d be a smaller proportion than in rich countries, where we know of the thousands dying'!
